Christmas Jeep - OSAAT #251

Good morning friends.  I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. I know I did. We had out of town company with us this year - my older brother and his wife, and my cousin from Florida who comes to spend the Thanksgiving holiday with us every year. It's a tradition even though she now lives in Florida close to her sister.  Even with the little bit of rain we've had, we didn't let that stop us from all our family fun. That was three siblings together this year and we hope that one of these years my younger brother and his wife will be able to be here with us.

Now on to the business at hand.  Our challenge this time for One Stitch at a Time is Anything Goes With Winter. So show us those Winter-themed cards.  Here's mine.

Giving Thanks with Gem

Hello my friends and Happy Sunday.  I hope you are all doing well wherever you are. Such sad news from around the world this weekend. I have a niece that had to go to Paris yesterday for work. Just praying that she has a safe journey and nothing more happens while she is there. Here in America we have so much to be grateful for, and I think that our theme is very timely given what time of the year it is. Only 11 more days until we celebrate Thanksgiving here in the USA. Our theme over at One Stitch at a Time is Anything Goes with Giving Thanks/Thanksgiving. Here is my card.

Rembrance Sunday

Wow!  Late!  I guess the time change really had an effect on me since I completely forgot to get this posted yesterday. Or maybe it's been the deluge of rain we've also been having. Luckily, it quit in time for the little ones to get out trick or treating. I had a few here this year. Anyway, better get to the business at hand.

The theme this time over at One Stitch at a Time is Anything Goes with Day of the Dead/Remembrance Sunday. I decided on Remembrance Sunday. I don't keep a lot of sympathy cards on hand and this month marks the first anniversary of my brother-in-law's passing. It was right before Thanksgiving last year.

Materials Used:

• Image - Stitchy Stamps - Fall Blessings
• Sentiment - Whiff of Joy - General Sayings II
• Cardstock - Xpress it Blending Card; Stampin Up Soft Sky
• Designer Paper - Basic Gray Marjolaine collection
• Accessories: Stampin Up oval punch and oval scallop punch; Stampin Up Soft Sky ribbon; Recollections - Bling Corner
